6.3.9 HOTSPARE Command
The HOTSPARE command creates a hot spare disk drive, which is
added to hot spare pool 0. The number of disk drives in an IM, IME, or
IS volume, including the hot spare disk, cannot exceed six for
LSI53C1020/1030 controllers or eight for LSI1064/1064E and
LSI1068/1068E controllers. Only one hot spare disk can be created.
The capacity of the hot spare disk must be greater than or equal to the
capacity of the smallest disk in the logical drive. An easy way to verify
this is to use the DISPLAY command.
The following rules must be observed when creating hot spare disks:
1. A hot spare disk cannot be created unless at least one IM or IME
volume is already created.
